TRANSCRIPT
Actuators are devices used to produce action or motion.
Input(mainly electrical signal , air, fluids)
Electrical signal can be low power or high power.
Actuators output can be position or rate i. e.linear displacement or velocity.
Actuation can be from few microns to few meters

A solenoid is a coil wound into a tightly packed helix.
In physics, the term solenoid refers to a long, thin loop of wire, and wrapped around a metallic core.
which produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it.

Hydraulic systems are used to control & transmit power.
A pump driven by prime mover (electric motor) creates flow of fluid
Linear actuator (hydraulic cylinder)-Provides motion in straight line.Linear displacement depends on stroke length.Usually referred to as cylinders, rams (single acting cylinders) or jacks.
Rotary actuators (Hydraulic motors)-Produces continuous rotational motion.Pump shaft is rotated to generate flow.A motor shaft is caused to rotate by fluid being forced into the driving chambers.

Hydraulic ram.
Used as sensor.Close loop velocity controlling.Highly precise positioning for heavy loads.

It convert energy formed by compressed air at high pressure into ether linear or rotary motion. Quickly respond in operation.

Rotary hydraulic actuatorsRotary hydraulic actuators
11
Vane rotary actuator: Limited angle in both directions.
Maximum angle always smaller than 360°
The same torque in both directions.
Piston rotary actuator: With rack and gear coupling.
Here maximum angle may be larger than 360°

Mechanical linear actuators typically operate by conversion of rotary motion into linear motion.

Electrically actuated system are very widely used in control system
There are three types of motor used in control system
D.C. motor
A.C. motor Stepper motor
Every motor works on the principle that when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force.
Working Principle of motor

Permanent magnet type
Variable reluctance type
Hybrid type
A stepper motor is an electromechanical device which converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements.

Pierre and Jacques Curie discovered the piezoelectric effect in 1880.
The application of an electric field to a piezoelectric crystal leads to a physical deformation of the crystal.
Piezoelectric materials are: Quartz, Ceramics, PZT(lead zirconate titanade). Advantages
short response time.An ability to create high forces.A high efficiency and a high mechanical durability.
Disadvantage
Have small strains. (0.1-.2%)High supply voltage needed.(60-1000V)Large hysteresis.(actuator doesn’t go back to exactly where it started).
15
A piezo ceramic crystal is coated with silver on both sides.
Glued to a brass, nickel alloy, or stainless steel disk.
Brass:Commercial & industrial use.(not subjected to environment )
Nickel alloy:
Use where it subjected to environment.
Stainless steel:Uses where it subjected to solvent, corrosive chemical, Underwater .Medical fields.

Heaters - used with temperature sensors And temperature controller to control the temperature in automated moulding Equipment and in soldering operation.
Lights - Lights are used on almost all machines to indicate the machine state and provide feedback to the operator.
LEDLCD’sGas plasma displayCRT
Sirens/Horns - Sirens or horns can be useful for unattended or dangerous machines to make conditions well known.
